Child Creativity Lab is an education non-profit in Santa Ana, CA serving thousands of students every year with hands-on, creativity-enhancing programs.

We cultivate creativity by providing students with the experiences they need to look at the world in new ways. We engage children grades TK-8 with Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) programs. Our approach to teaching uses the Design Thinking process and “STEAM” — the "A" (art) adds the ability for students to look at a situation from new and creative angles and inspires innovation.
Our work environment includes:
- Growth opportunities
- On-the-job training
